can you recommend a simple ebook reader app for #android-based #eink devices?
all i need is:
- browse my library at ~/Books
- open epub and pdf files
- remember reading position
- navigate page by page
- close a book and switch to another one

it's my favorite computer reader, which does exactly what you describe. don't personally know what the android experiences is though.
edit: just tried it, works pretty good. it's also on f-droid.
not sure what the difference between mini and viewer is though:

indeed it's very simple and does what i need... almost :)
- mupdf uses default android file browser (font size is tiny, hard to read in manta)
- pages jump a little bit when turning or when zoom in/out (animation doesn't look good on eink displays)
- couldn't find a way to close the book and open a new one (probably it's just me)

when you close the app, it closes the book (but saves the progress). whenever you open the app, it starts in the file browser.

settings > my apps > [app] > force stop
so mupdf works, but not easy to use on a #supernote

koreader feels like the best of them all. it just has so many options that configuring it feels like a full-time job

@hi KOReader can be overwhelming at first, but totally worth it. Put ZenOS on top of it and you'll get a nicer experience. From there you can explore the rest of options at your own pace.
